This is my recipe. When I share a recipe of my own, a lot of time I will say “to taste”. Being Italian, most of the time I cook without a recipe. I have basics, but from there, it’s a lot of tasting to personal taste. So, without further ado, here we go. I use the InstantPot to make this. Quick, easy, and little clean up.
Ingredients:
1 lb of beef stew meat
Small onion
Flour
2 tblsp Infused butter
1 cup water and 1 tblsp of Better Than Boullion – beef
Salt and pepper
Italian seasoning
Red cooking wine.
Coat the beef and diced onion in flourusing the sauté setting, brown beef and onion the in infused butter. Remove beef, pour in water and bullion mixture. Deglaze the bottom of the pan. Return beef and onion to the pan. Add salt, pepper and seasoning to taste. Add red wine (I use about 3/4 cup) Close up the InstantPot. Set on Stew for 15 minutes.
For the mashed taters, as I said, I am lazy and like things easy. I use Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes. Get them in the meat section of the grocery store. Heat them up in the microwave. Then use a bit of infused butter – to taste.
When the InstantPot is done, use the manual release. Open up the pot. Stir the meat/gravy mixture. If it needs a little thickening, a little corn starch slurry helps. Literally two or three tablespoons is enough.
Scoop your mashed taters on the plate, and spoon the beef tips and gravy over the taters.
This recipe is NOT going to get you high. You may feel a slight buzz. I prefer to microdose throughout the day, so my recipes are geared towards that end.
